Dear sir or madam: the bookmarklet you didn't know you needed

How to use

Bookmark this by dragging it to your bookmark bar: ransomify!. Then go to a non-https webpage, and hit that bookmark. Then, wait a bit. Then, BAM. Ransomified.

Also, I wrote most of it in bed, at 7am, after insufficient levels of caffeine, so you can count on this being top drawer code. It’s not the fastest it can be, but it’s definitely not the n^2 abomination I wrote in the first iteration either.
